Using the machine to make your cutting template ahead of time is genius! ✨
Thank you! I watched a few other "how to make a patch" videos and yours was the only one that cut to the chase and hit the high points specific to patch-making.
Thank you so much for all of your tips! You got right to the point and didn't fill your video with fluff.
Thanks for making all these videos, I was browsing through quite a few before you linked me to your videos and nobody explained stitches and the importance of each step the way you do :) It makes a huge difference and I feel like I learned so much.
You're welcome! I had so many questions when I first started, and couldn't find a lot of great resources. I feel comfortable now to share what I've learned, and I'm happy to help others. :D
Thank you so much for a concise tutorial. I am a beginner and hopefully I will be able to make some. God bless you🙏
I've been trying to learn how to use Embrilliance over the past week or so and your videos were the most informative and helpful by far! Really glad I found these series. I learned so much! Please keep making more
So happy you find the videos helpful! Definitely more videos to come ☺️
You’re one of a kind, very talented & generous sharing your lovely 😊 ideas ♥️
Thanks 👏🏼

Yay have fun with it!!
Thank you for such a fantastic, thorough tutorial.
You did an excellent job young lady!! Thanks so much for doing this video so beginners can understand and keep up with your instructions!!
thank you! glad you found it helpful
Your videos are awesome! They are clear, concise, newbie friendly, and to the point. As a newbie myself, I learned more from your patch series than many other co content creators. You just earned a new subscriber. "Kaptchi Kapshida!"
Thank you so much! I'm glad that videos are helpful. More tutorials to come!
Thank you for your video. I finally understand what kind of stabilizer I need to use. Your creative designs are very nice!
thanks for watching! Glad to help

This quick little video was soooooo helpful vs. Other lengthy videos that confused me....Thank you so much!!!!
awesome! happy to hear that
That looks so fun & easy! Thank you for a great video 💕
omg i found your shop almost a year ago and wanted to know how you made your patches and have struggled since with trying to make my own, thanks so much for this video and sharing your knowledge!!!

Can you make a video on making a patch with Velcro backing 💕
I can answer that! You can actually buy Velcro strips/pieces and either sew or stick them on!
Thanks for this tutorial! Awesome!
No problem, thanks for watching!
This is so great! I wish more of my files came with a placement stitch step, most of hte ones I've bought online don't and I have to guess and use way more material than I need to
Thank you! It definitely took my some time to learn over time how to make accurate placement stitches, but I can do it pretty accurately now!
Thank you for posting this video! This is very helpful information.
Keep up the hard work! That TH-cam Silver Play Button (Creator Award) is in your future!
Haha you are so sweet! Thanks for the love!

thanks so much!!
Very helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Great video! I was wondering if you can make patches that aren't completely filled with stitches? Like I've done a skeleton and there are parts of it with the material showing through. 🙃 Hope this makes sense. Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing this video with us...I know I'm a couple of years behind but I am just getting into crafting. What materials and equipment do you have?? Not sure where to begin looking. Thank you!
the brohter p800 is a good starting machine! embroidery thread and stabilizer is the first thing you need
Thank you for this video, it's great!! How do you create a border around a design that you already have so that it can become a patch?
you can do it in digitizing software with a satin column or satin border stitch :)
This was amazingly helpful thank you
appreciate it!
Love your videos! Would you mind saying what thread weight and needle size you use for your patches?
I use size 80 or 75 sharp needles and madeira polyneon 40 for thread
Thanks so much for sharing. Do you sell just the embroidery files, so I can make the patches myself?
No problem! I don't sell the embroidery files, but I have videos showing how to create the appliques yourself :)
Thanks for the awesome content!! Keep it up and I know you’re gonna amass a huge following before you know it!! Btw do you digitize with stitch artist level 1, 2, or 3?
So sweet of you! I really appreciate it :D I have level 2 but in my 'How to Digitize a Custom Patch' series I only use tools from level 1. The only features I currently use in level 2 are the satin column input and gradient.
@@stitchbackstories Perfect Thanks!! I’m trying to make sure I get the best “budget” software and still be able to digitize a logo it’s hard to find. Do you feel as though I’d be able to digitize professional logos for businesses with only level 1? Or is it vital that I have the extra tools you mention in level 2?
@@visionlesbluus8535 I was in the same boat! I think it depends what kind of logos you digitize, but overall I would say yes! You can do almost everything in level 1, and level 2 just make some processes a little easier. I started with 1 and upgraded to 2 a few months in. That's the great thing about Embrilliance--you can always upgrade when you're ready for more, and it doesn't cost any more than if you bought all the levels at once.
@@stitchbackstories THANK YOU 1000% lol!! I really appreciate your insight it’s invaluable! Question.. is a run stitch the only way to do really small words in a logo? When I try to draw the outline and apply a satin stitch the threads are crazy jumbled but when I change to run stitch it only looks like an outline. Help please?
@@visionlesbluus8535 Depending on the font and the size, I might use the run stitch or satin stitch. I have separate videos on how to digitize both types of stitches!
Hi! I love this video, thank you so much for making it!! I have a quick question about your stitches. Does the stitch you punch out onto the paper just cover the size of the white part of your "let it grow" patch, or does it also include the border? In other words, should the fabric be the size of the entire design or just the part inside of the patch border? Thank you in advance!!
thank you! For this design, the white background and the border end at the same place. The fabric should be the size of the design. Usually when making appliques, a lot of people trim the fabric after the tack down stitch, but the paper template allows you to skip this step and cut all the fabric out beforehand (this is especially helpful if you plan on making multiples of the same design!)
@@stitchbackstories Thank you so much for your quick response! That is helpful! I am struggling to get my fabric cut outs the exact size of the patch even with the paper template - I always seem to be just a little under or a little over. Do you have any tips for getting the size spot on? (Or, in the case of imperfections, is it better to be a little over or a little under?)
@@kaitlynt649 A little under would be better so that you don't have the fabric showing through. However, if you go too far under, your satin stitches could start coming apart. When digitizing the position stitch, I like to place it about 2/3 the width of the satin stitch outline. Digitizing just takes practice, and I go over my process in the How to Digitize a Patch series: th-cam.com/video/DddtX8JqQMw/w-d-xo.html Hope that's helpful!
Thank you for the info! How do you get the edge so clean?
trial and error! But now that I've made so many patches, I can generally digitize perfectly on the 1st or second try :D
Умница!
Omg this is amazing! if i asked you to make me a small custom patch for a cap, can you tell me how much you will charge???
Thank you :-) . . . .
Great tutorial...how do you get the edge stitched around the circle? Does it have to be a digitized design?
yes, it's a satin border stitch! You can digitize it yourself, or find embroidery files that have them
Great content , keep making . Is the machine NQ1600E worth 2k? I make gas station patches for shirts for about 1000 patches a year.
It's still a single-needle machine, but it's worth is over the PE800 if you can afford. It's faster, quieter and has less issues
Love from India❤❤
Thank you!
Does Heat and Bond allow us to iron the made patch to a cotton shirt? Or is there a different product that u have found to attach the patch to a t-shirt? Great video. Thanks!
I think heat and bond works, but I've never tried it -- try doing a test one first! And cotton shirts can shrink while your patch will not, so keep that in mind. I prefer to prewash the shirt and then both iron and sew on the patch, but I rarely will add patches to shirts.
Great video do you have one discussing machines ? I don't have one yet and would be good to know beginner entry machines etc.
I don't have one, but I can definitely make it! That would be fun video to make after I move and get my new craft room set up :D
@@stitchbackstories thank you for your reply I shall await that one. I currently use a c9mpany to.make my Cosplay patches but would be nice if I could make myself
Thank you for the video! What is the largest patch that your machine can make? I'm looking to make a custom logo patch for a hockey jersey.
sounds like a fun project! My brother pe800 has a 5"x7" embroidery area and my brother nq1600e can sew up to 6"x10"
Hi, do you habe a recommendation in regards to a digitalizing programm, or better what Software do you use to create Patches
Came out perfect, do you digitize your own designs?
thank you! yes I do
SPOOKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
spoookyy season! (not really XD)
@@stitchbackstories You're my little PogChamp. I hope you know that.
@@GorillaCape haha love you!
Is there reason we can't just embroider right on the backing? do we need the twill if it is fully embroidered?
Hi! How long does it take you to make one patch?
What machines do you recommend? My budget is anywhere between 3-500? Great video btw
The brother se625 is within your budget, but I believe the maximum embroidery size is 4"x4"!
Can u do a video from beginning on hiw u put it on software to do a patch?
Love your videos! I'm sure you've talked about it somewhere, but I'm not seeing it with searching. What is your method for embroidering more than one patch at the same time so that you can do all the necessary stitches on each patch in one color before moving to the next color? Sorry if you already addressed this...
thank you! I just stitch color by color (usually 3-5 patches per hoop) so that I don't have to change the thread. I either go to the stitch sequence to go back a color and move the patch location or sometimes I digitize it that way. That sounds a big confusing, maybe I should make a video...haha
@@stitchbackstories A video would definitely be helpful! I'm a teacher and purchased a Brother PE800 for my classroom and students to use. I'm sure your process makes sense and works well, but I'm not picturing it in my mind....
What fabric did you use?
Do you take orders? 😅 i want a few patches and the places I’ve checked wants orders of 100 out more
Can you make these into iron ONS?
Good vid an all but it would be nice seeing how its done from software to emb machine
thanks! there's a playlist that goes over all the steps in the software I use (embrilliance stitchartist)
Thank you for sharing your technique! Where do you buy your organic twill?
lately I just use whatever scrap fabric I have, but I used to buy it from organiccottonplus.com
@stitchbackstories I was thinking of scrap fabric too. Have you tried denim, canvas, or even fleece? If so, how does that work out for you? I would like to use as much scraps as possible 🙌💯
@@Publicspectaclefashion denim and canvas works well, especially if the entire design is embroidered. Fleece can work, but you might get pieces of fabric flying everywhere
@@stitchbackstories thank you 🤗
I love your videos. Hw do ou design your patches, it will be a good videos
thanks! I usually design on my ipad or illustrator
Hey Stitchback, don't know how likely it is for you to see this but I'm struggling to find answers elsewhere -
I'm using the exact same water soluble stabilizer that you have linked, vilene, and I'm using identical hoops to yours - But I really struggle to get it tensioned in the hoop at all? It feels very delicate, and tears easily when I try to tension it, no matter how gentle I am. This is even vilene straight from the shop, used immediately in case my storage was an issue. I also found that it really struggled to hold up under designs that had more than 2 layers, or much density at all (like a background fill stitch)
Do you have any advice on tensioning such a delicate material? Or does it sound like something is going wrong to make it delicate?
Grateful for any advice 🙏
the material shouldn't be delicate and I've never had it tear. I wonder if you got sent the wrong material? It should feel like a fabric
Could you do a video on a custom photo patch? Do you have to have a certain machine to make those? And do you do you patch design on a computer? Or could you use an iPad? 😃
you don't need a specific machine, but you would need to digitize. It's a very manual process to create a custom photo -- almost like sketching it out, so you would need some drawing skills. You could also reach out to a professional digitizer to do it for you
Hello , what kind kind or name brand do you buy for “iron on “backing? I want to make a few iron patches for family- Thanks
fuse n bond: allstitch.com/products/fuse-n-bond-applique-patch-backing-heat-seal-film
I’ve had issues with my thread bunching up in the bobbin casing any tips on how to fix it?
Does this happen when you embroider any design? I've had to try a couple different bobbin brands before finding one that worked well with my machine. This is what I've been using: www.allbrands.com/categories/1826/42436-filtec-60400-prewound-class-15-a-bobbins-80x105yds
Excuse me,
I hand paint patches and I need help or advice on what backing I can add
Also how do I hand sew the edges of each patch
What brand model of machine did you use?
Do you know the largest size patch the machine used in the video could make ? Could that Brother machine make a patch that is about 10in. x 14in. ? Thanxs !
10"x6" for my machine. There are machines that can embroider large, you just have to check the maximum hoop size
